The Fraction to Decimal and vica versa is completely off and sucks... When a decimal is entered it is wrong when a fraction of equal value is entered it is right... I have done each and multiplied each out with a calculator and gotten the same answer ex: answer=5 and 1/2 entered 5.5 wrong entered 5 1/2 wrong also entered 11/2 then its right. Your answer format is completely off and sucks on any sort of conversion or simplified answer. WORK ON IT!!
